I'm not sure what such a test would prove, e.g. on 64-bit Mac OS X, platform.machine() return 'i386'. That could be mapped to 'x86'... Note that 'x86_64' is just a 'x86' compatible processor with the AMD 64-bit extensions, so 'x86' is a superset of 'x86_64'. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7860> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
